Used Citroen Berlingo
Citroen is a car brand that’s generally associated with flamboyance and doing things its own way. With the Berlingo though, you can’t help but feel they have played it safe and simply added some windows to a van. However, there’s more to this punchy ‘leisure activity vehicle’ than meets the eye, and if you’re looking for a car with an astronomical amount of space, it could be the ideal solution.
Available since 1996, the Berlingo has had a variety of upgrades and remodels over the years. The same effortless functionality has held strong throughout its life however and is one of the major selling points. The boot has an enormous 3000 litres of space with the rear seats stowed, and there’s room for 7 people to sit comfortably. It can tow, haul, carry and probably dance if you asked it to. It’s a fantastic all around transporter.
While it doesn’t have the out and out eye widening style of normal Citroens, it’s by no means ugly to look at. Modern variants are sleek and go some way to minimise the van shape. Inside it’s solid and rugged as you’d expect from a car of this sort, but also very comfortable. It has decent handling and the ride is soft too, plus you get some great kit on mid range models.
The array of petrol and diesel engines couldn’t exactly be called power plants, but they get the job done with supreme fuel economy. This means lower running costs in terms of fuel, in addition to cheaper insurance. With a high degree of reliability too, it won’t give up the ghost for a long while. Really the Berlingo is a great cost effective option for people who want an auto with longevity.
Honestly it isn’t the most expensive car to buy brand new, but this means there’s scope for an immensely good deal if you buy second hand from Motors.co.uk. With a wealth of used Citroen Berlingo cars available for a tiny portion of the cost, pleasing price discounts mean you’ll end up paying peanuts for something that’s incredible value for money.
So the Citroen Berlingo is more than just a converted van. It’s a genuine contender if you want something affordable, economical and hugely practical with enough space to fit even the largest objects. It’s the perfect car for large families and even trumps people carriers at their own game!
